Today we wrapped up the longest transfer we have had on the mission, three days, four trips to the airport, 18 missionaries leaving and 22 missionaries arriving! Our "Final Four" missionaries arrived here in Curitiba this afternoon after more than 48 hours of travel. They left Spokane, Washington on Monday and flew to Seattle. The pilot for the next flight from Seattle to Detroit never showed up which delayed their flight by more than two hours. They arrived in Detroit one hour after their Sao Paulo flight departure therefore winning an overnight stay in Detroit at the Airport Holiday Inn. They continued their journey the next day catching their new flights late on Tuesday afternoon. They were delayed in Sao Paulo and finally touched down in Curitiba around 3:30pm today. Wow! We were super relieved to finally have them here and happy to get them fed and off for some sleep. Despite being a little sleep deprived, they arrived excited to share the message of the restoration with the people of Parana.
